Stand For Nature Wales
Stand for Nature Wales was a 6-year youth engagement project with huge impacts for youth environmental mobilising across Wales. Here’s a summary of what the project set out to achieve.
Upland acid grassland and rush pasture
These grasslands, occupying much of the UK's heavily-grazed upland landscape, are of greater cultural than wildlife interest, but remain a habitat to some scarce and declining species.
Sand eel
Sand eels are a hugely important part of our marine ecosystem. In fact, the fledgling success of our breeding seabirds entirely depends on them.
Sand lizard
